Clarkson Pulls Off Improbable Comeback to Sweep Top-Seeded Quinnipiac
Despite sometimes erratic stretches, Clarkson showed the ability to defeat top teams at times throughout the season — Penn State, North Dakota and Cornell. But this weekend, it turned in its finest hour against Quinnipiac.Friday's win, a dominant effort, was quite something in and of itself. But the Golden Knights went one better Saturday, pulling off an improbable comeback, and improbable sweep...
Minnesota Duluth Jumped on North Dakota and Never Let Go
So much changed for the better for North Dakota this season, as it transitioned from Brad Berry to Dane Jackson as head coach. Jackson's first season was marked by a consistency that was lacking in recent seasons, and it was strong from start to finish in the regular season, and is assured a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament.But one thing that didn't change was North Dakota's inability to get back...
OSU Stuns Munn, Continues Cinderella Ride to Championship Game
There was a bit of déja vu in Munn Ice Arena on Saturday night.In the Big Ten semifinal matchup with fast-paced hockey and power plays on display, the Michigan State Spartans and the Ohio State Buckeyes, knotted up at 2-2, were heading to a sudden-death overtime.The last time these two teams met in the regular season, the Spartans took the victory in a 13-round shootout, the third-longest in NCAA...
'Heavyweight Match': Denver Takes Down Western Michigan in OT
As reigning national champion Western Michigan and the sport's winningest program Denver battled into overtime Saturday night at Magness Arena — with any onlooker realizing that neither team, nor goaltender, really "deserved" a loss, per se — a sudden, unexpected bounce was perhaps the only way this NCHC semifinal could realistically end.Finnish senior Samu Salminen, a New Jersey Devils prospect...
St. Thomas Outduels Augustana to Earn CCHA Title Game Rematch
If we've learned one thing about Minnesota State over the years, it's that if you give it an opening, it will take it.The Mavericks built a tradition of champions under Mike Hastings, and have continued it with Luke Strand in charge, and will get another opportunity next Friday night, at home, when it takes on St. Thomas in the CCHA championship game. It's a rematch of last year's title game, which...
¡Campeonas!
As you're likely aware if you've passed elementary school social studies, Spain is not part of Canada in any way, shape, or form, but we got to see two former U SPORTS players crowned as champions today in the Liga Iberdrola de Hockey Hielo! I have been following the progress made by Club Gel Puigcerdà as the scheduled rolled forward thanks to former Calgary Dinos forward Annalise Meier and former Dinos and Mount Royal Cougars forward Courtney Kollman playing for them. As you can see by the im...
Two U SPORTS Netminders!
The PWHL's Ottawa Charge went off the board today as they searched for another netminder among the free agent ranks. They already have former UNB Reds netminder Kendra Woodland on their roster, and they doubled the number of former U SPORTS netminders under their watch as they signed former Mount Royal Cougars stopper Kaitlyn Ross to a 10-day Standard Player Agreement! I won't try to deceive anyone here by saying that I had a little fun Photoshopping Kaitlyn into action with the Charge, but sh...

A Huge Win By Any Measure
Having heard about some of the experiences that Team Manitoba's parahockey players have endured in trying to practice and play here in Manitoba, I have a better understanding about why accessibility matters. Manitoba's sledge hockey players are begging for resources and ice time so they can play more often, but those pleas often finds silence when it comes time to hitting the ice. I can't imagine what it was like for the two para athletes above when it came to mastering their chosen sport as P...
The Day After 67.0: Strong effort wasted as Oilers hope lost point doesn’t ‘come and haunt us later’
The Edmonton Oilers accomplished the bare minimum, securing a winning record on their four-game road trip this past week. They secured big wins over the Vegas Golden Knights and Colorado Avalanche in the first two games of the trip, dropped a stinker against the Dallas Stars, and watched the St. Louis Blues whittle away and…
Four positives from Oilers’ four-game road trip: Frederic is finding a new gear, the Nurse-Murphy pairing has potential, and more
The Edmonton Oilers went 2-1-1 on their recent four-game road trip, which isn’t bad, but giving up a two-goal lead last game against the St. Louis Blues and losing in overtime certainly stung, letting a valuable point slip away. Nevertheless, there were several positives to take from the trip, including beating a dangerous Colorado Avalanche…
NHL Tank Index: Which bad teams are best positioned to boost their draft lottery odds?

Oilers blow two-goal lead in St. Louis, Connor Ingram’s return, and a hat-tip to Kasperi Kapanen
Only 24 hours after a wrestling match broke out at the Oilers game Thursday night in Dallas, the boys were right back to work to wrap up their road trip with a visit to St. Louis. And after getting demolished by the Stars, I was hopeful that the Oilers would respond with their best foot…

A 'Special' Night For Michigan Leads to Semifinal Win
A game between the two most penalized teams in the country can only have 26 minutes’ worth of penalties. Any less would be odd.“We needed a little more discipline to beat a great team like that,” Penn State coach Guy Gadowsky said.Gadowsky’s team wasn’t the most penalized team of the night, though. Instead, it was Michigan that was constantly on the kill. But it didn’t hurt the Wolverines...

Flashback Friday: How the Oilers trading Nail Yakupov to the Blues turned into Tristan Jarry
Nail Yakupov is widely considered one of the biggest busts in National Hockey League history. That title is deserved as well. Drafted first overall by the Edmonton Oilers in the 2012 draft after scoring 31 goals and 69 points in 42 games with the Sarnia Sting in his draft year, the Russian sniper was considered…
